Stop raiding my music library, Nath! More of a fan of Idlewild's later stuff, but I have a soft spot for the spikier early albums too. And The Antlers are incredible, Hospice is so intensely emotional, and Burst Apart's fantastic too.

Aha it is rather uncanny! It's probably got something to do with us both being miserable gits at heart.

Idlewild is rather more aggressive than my music taste generally gets, and the earlier stuff has a whiff of (dare I say it) emo to it. But it's great stuff!

Only bought Burst Apart this week and I'm hooked, it's alot easier to listen to than Hospice. I have to really work myself up to listen to the latter, because it's so devastating.
